  • Build a Swtpc 6800
    Southwest Technical Products Corporation 6800 Computer System The Southwest Technical Products 6800 computer system is based upon the Motorola MC6800 microprocessor unit (MPU) and its matching support devices. The 6800 system was chosen for our computer because this set of parts is currently in our opinion the "Benchmark Family" for microprocessor computer systems. It makes it possible for us to provide you with an outstanding computer system having a minimum of parts, but with outstanding versatility and ease of use. In addition to the outstanding hardware system, the Motorola 6800 has without question the most complete set of documentation yet made available for a microprocessor system. The 714 page Applications Manual, for example, contains material on programming techniques, system organization, input/output techniques, hardware characteristics, peripheral control techniques, and more. Also available is a Programmers Manual which details the various types of software available for the system and instructions for programming and using the unique interface system that is part of the 6800 system. The M6800 family of parts minimizes the number of, required components and support parts, provides extremely simple interfacing to external devices and has outstanding documentation. The MC6800 is an eight-bit parallel microprocessor with addressing capability of up to 45,536 words (BYTES) of data. The system is TTL compatible requiring only a single fine-volt power supply. All devices and memory in the 6800 computer family are connected to an 8-bit bi-directional data bus. In addition to this a 16-bit address bus is provided to specify memory location. This later bus is also used as a tool to specify the particular input/ output device to be selected when the 6800 family interface devices are used.

  • SWTPC PR-40 Alphanumeric Printer Assembly Instructions
    SWTPC PR-40 Alphanumeric Printer Assembly Instructions The SWTPC PR-40 Printer kit is a 5 X 7 dot matrix impact printer similar in operation to the well known Centronics printers. It prints the 64 character upper case ASCII set with 40 characters/line at a rate of 75 lines/minute on standard 3 7/8" wide rolls of adding machine paper. One complete line is printed at a time from an internal forty character line buffer memory. Printing takes place either on receipt of a carriage return or automatically whenever the line buffer memory is filled. The printer can accept character data as fast as one character per microsecond or as slow as you wish to send it. The printer's seven parallel data lines are TTL compatible and may be enabled by a single "data ready" control line or by separate "data ready" and "data accepted" handshake control lines. This universal approach makes the printer compatible with all computer and terminal systems having an eight bit parallel interface; including of course the MITS 8800 and SWTPC 6800 computer systems just to mention a few. The printer mechanism is attached to a black anodized aluminum chassis with front trim panel which houses the unit's circuitry including its own 120/240 VAC 50 to 60 Hz power supply. This makes the printer's overall dimensions 9 5/8" wide X 10 1/2" deep X 8 3/4" high. Each unit is shipped with one ribbon and one roll of paper. Extra ribbons are available from us while the standard adding machine paper may be purchased in office supply stores.

  • Programmable Digital Microcircuits - a Survey with Examples of Use
    - 237 - PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL MICROCIRCUITS - A SURVEY WITH EXAMPLES OF USE C. Verkerk CERN, Geneva, Switzerland 1. Introduction For most readers the title of these lecture notes will evoke microprocessors. The fixed instruction set microprocessors are however not the only programmable digital mi• crocircuits and, although a number of pages will be dedicated to them, the aim of these notes is also to draw attention to other useful microcircuits. A complete survey of programmable circuits would fill several books and a selection had therefore to be made. The choice has rather been to treat a variety of devices than to give an in- depth treatment of a particular circuit. The selected devices have all found useful ap• plications in high-energy physics, or hold promise for future use. The microprocessor is very young : just over eleven years. An advertisement, an• nouncing a new era of integrated electronics, and which appeared in the November 15, 1971 issue of Electronics News, is generally considered its birth-certificate. The adver• tisement was for the Intel 4004 and its three support chips. The history leading to this announcement merits to be recalled. Intel, then a very young company, was working on the design of a chip-set for a high-performance calculator, for and in collaboration with a Japanese firm, Busicom. One of the Intel engineers found the Busicom design of 9 different chips too complicated and tried to find a more general and programmable solu• tion. His design, the 4004 microprocessor, was finally adapted by Busicom, and after further négociation, Intel acquired marketing rights for its new invention.

  • Dissertation Applications of Field Programmable Gate
    DISSERTATION APPLICATIONS OF FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAYS FOR ENGINE CONTROL Submitted by Matthew Viele Department of Mechanical Engineering In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2012 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Bryan D. Willson Anthony J. Marchese Robert N. Meroney Wade O. Troxell ABSTRACT APPLICATIONS OF FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAYS FOR ENGINE CONTROL Automotive engine control is becoming increasingly complex due to the drivers of emissions, fuel economy, and fault detection. Research in to new engine concepts is often limited by the ability to control combustion. Traditional engine-targeted micro controllers have proven difficult for the typical engine researchers to use and inflexible for advanced concept engines. With the advent of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based engine control system, many of these impediments to research have been lowered. This dissertation will talk about three stages of FPGA engine controller appli- cation. The most basic and widely distributed is the FPGA as an I/O coprocessor, tracking engine position and performing other timing critical low-level tasks. A later application of FPGAs is the use of microsecond loop rates to introduce feedback con- trol on the crank angle degree level. Lastly, the development of custom real-time computing machines to tackle complex engine control problems is presented. This document is a collection of papers and patents that pertain to the use of FPGAs for the above tasks. Each task is prefixed with a prologue section to give the history of the topic and context of the paper in the larger scope of FPGA based engine control.
